Hi John, Thanks for you reply. Just for learning purpose, how can you tell from the document that the VerticalPanel will always auto fit the child content and the FlowPanel wont? In general, how can I tell which panel or widget does auto fit the child widget and which doesnt? Thanks Ming

If you want to ensure that it is 400px, wrap each child content in a FlowPanel and set the width of the FlowPanel to 400px and overflow to hidden (or scroll).

I have tried setwidth and setCellWidth, but both seem not working well. For example, VerticalPanel vp = new VerticalPanel(); vp.setCellWidth(this, "400px"); Label textlabel = new textlabel(); textlabel.add(text); <-- vp.add(textlabel); If the text is a string containing various spaces, then the width is able to be kept because the wrap is on. Otherwise, if the text is a string without space longer than 400px, the string would not wrap. How can I make the width constant independent of the string?
